The cost of the Status Quo has been higher than the cost of reform
ever since Henry Ford's early electric car shop mysteriously blew up.

We pay those costs now, in all kinds of environmental degradation, bad

The Global Warming fearmongering only describes the end game. That
cost would indeed be greater still.
